Audiobook: The Silent Bullet Ch5 – The Seismograph Adventure
Written by emiller on June 27, 2010 – 8:27 AM -It’s an all new audiobook. The Silent Bullet, by Arthur B. Reeve.
Follow the adventures of Professor Craig Kennedy and his assistant Walter Jameson as they track down criminals scientifically.
From Wikipedia:
Arthur Benjamin Reeve (October 15, 1880 – August 9, 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is best known for creating the series character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called “The American Sherlock Holmes,” and his Dr Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter, in eighteen detective novels. The bulk of Reeve’s fame is based on the 82 Craig Kennedy stories, published in Cosmopolitan magazine between 1910 and 1918. These were collected in book form; with the third collection, the short stories were stitched together into pseudo-novels. The 12-volume Craig Kennedy Stories came out in 1918; it reissued Reeve’s books-to-date as a matched set.
This Story is called The Seismograph Adventure. A woman dies during the night, her husband discovers her after the spooky rappings of a ghost on his wall alerts him that there was a problem. Was it Suicide, Murder, or just natural causes? And how will a seismograph help Kennedy discover the truth?

Bedtime Stories: The Cunning Shoemaker
Written by emiller on June 9, 2010 – 7:32 AM -
I love reading to my kids. I know some parents do not have the time to read to their children, or have problems reading. So I am offering bedtime stories, all for free.
This story is The Cunning Shoemaker from
THE PINK FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang
This story is about a Shoemaker who tricks a group of robbers multiple times into giving him their money.
This fairy tale is Rated R. The Shoemaker convinces the robbers to murder their wives, and finally to kill themselves. It is way to horrible for my tastes as far as fairy tales go.
